Reflecting on the tournament, Gideon heaped praise on some of the newer faces in the squad.
“Caleb Yirenkyi did very well in the Unity Cup game. He was not even playing in his natural position,” he said, as quoted by Ghanasoccernet.
“He was very quiet in camp, but on the field of play, he was a totally different player. Then we have Christopher Bonsu Baah, Mohammed Gaddafi, and other new boys who had a good game.”
